Wilt doesn't respond anymore on this forum, as far as I can tell.

This happened to me yesterday. Rebooted and it's back to normal now.

:bounce :clap Very funny stuff StoneMan.

Thanks jawilljr and DarrellP. Hope something eventually changes.

That Packer's game was about as good as ESPN-HD has ever looked (of course I've never actually seen ESPN-HD on a native 720p display coming through in 720p). It was really nice. But with HD baseball the PQ problems are really evident, and some of those are related to the 720p/1080i switch I'm...

Tivo will not give you your local channels on Voom in Tivo PG. Here's my work-around. Say you want to record Wheel of Fortune at 6:30 on local channel 13. 1. Manually setup up Tivo to record channel 999 (or whatever) from 6:29-7:00. 2. Setup Voom planner to change channel to Wheel of...

I read this in every conversation about cables: Unless it's a long cable run, cheap DVI cables are fine.

I mentioned earlier about Dish. I guess they're keeping up OK with D*. They added about 350k subs., and their churn was 1.67%.

20% is bad. I think Dish's and DirecTV's are <5%. Usually customer acquisition costs are $200+ per customer. I'm sure all of Voom's internal projections were for subs. to be much higher and churn to be much lower.

25k? That is awful. Did they release their churn rate?

Here in flyover country I can get a signal fine. However, I can't imagine a satellite dish that could pick up both of these slots. What are their plans?

Very interesting article. Thanks for posting. HBO. Bravo. TripleCast. Quite a legacy. I wonder where Voom will end up on Dolan's list?

Bad reveiw. It says Voom dish points SW. Voom points almost East. It says LOS issues for locals unique to NYC b/c of Empire State BLDG. There's only 10,000 threads about OTA problems here. Said Voom's DVR will be like 921. God I hope not. Hard to make much stock in reveiw written...

I know, I've read that also around here. But it's getting increasingly difficult to imagine Voom switching out 15,000+ satellites and STBs.

Good find, Vurbano. But this helps us Voomers in no way, right? Only if the cancer-curing DVR contains it will this technology impact us. Unless we want to go buy a $500 tuner or new TV. I'm glad they did it, though. Outdoor antennas are impossible for so many people, and multipath is a...

http://www.satelliteguys.us/showthread.php?t=16057 Someone posted a thread on this earlier. UDTV is cool. That thread has an article that's a little more detailed about how exotic it actually is.

I guess we'll have to wait for AlvyRay and Mark Cuban to take a stand :) I look forward to buying a UHTV when I move into that nursing home in 70 years. It does sound awesome, though.

Good find on the article, tim. 184 sd, 94 hd. That'll be amazing if they can pull it off. Will there even be 94 hd channels by the end of 2005, let alone 2004?

All this talk of MPEG4, does that mean no WMA? I thought that MS's codec was supposed to be superior?

They better make sure everyone has a new dish before the transponders go active. Having second-class status will PO many of us.

Yes, it does provide listings and works with Voom's data. I haven't really used it (edit: haven't used PG info much, but I've used remote for a couple of months and love it) much, so I don't know how well it works. I know it doesn't really work well with more than a few days info in it...

Harmony SST-659. Web-based. Easy to use. About $125 most places. All you need is internet access and a USB port.

Sorry, I didn't mean to spread untruths about Dish. I didn't know about that particular receiver. If/when I get my locals, I would be a big Voom booster. I still think Voom has to shore up its non-HD programming. Voom can't survive on just HD early adopters, especially at a 50$/mo price...

TCM. TMC. I always get those confused. To clarify my position, I am not saying the 21 exclusives are throw aways (that gallery special on the beach with HD resolution of the unclothed female upper-torso region is something no one should miss), I just love ESPN, and want to make a good thing great.
